With some blogging connections it can feel like you have found your online Best Friend Forever (BFF), even though you’ve never actually met face to face. Meeting your online BFF in real life can get a little crazy. As I have met most of […]

My recent post titled 35 Things You Don’t See When You Buy a Book proved popular, so I thought I would see if I could come up with a similar list for blog posts. A lot of time, effort and creative suffering can go into the production of a blog post, which sadly the blog […]
